Bulgaria - St. John Home

St. John Home

EXCITING the people of JFM to the critical ministry in Bulgaria is one of our primary goals for our missions committee.   Our missionaries to Bulgaria, David and Jill Sweet said it best, “We believe that a reduction in the incidence of human trafficking is a natural byproduct of healthy church communities.”  As Jill continues, “at any given moment, in the Roma village here in Kyustendil, more than 100 girls are in danger of being taken.  The situation is desperate.” 

With this in mind, please be praying for upcoming concerns for the prevention of human trafficking in the form of a home for at-risk girls, St. John’s Home.  In Jill’s words,

1
    Meeting with mayor of Kyustendil, Bulgaria to present the almost finished St John Home, looking for permission to open it.

    David Carr, former director for the conference in Bulgaria is coming to talk to the Minister of Religion on getting the government’s endorsement on the St John’s Home.

    At the conclusion of both critical meeting, hope to have an opening date set.

Please continue to pray that the roadblocks of spiritual warfare will be stopped and God’s work will prevail.

Exciting Update from the Meeting with the Minister of Religion:  The meeting was very positive!  The minister loved the work we are doing and gave us a clear path forward.  He knows the mayor and will work with him directly to get the approvals quickly.   Overall, a great start to a relationship that will help us grow our impact on lives here.
